An anonymous reader writes "After six months of our new accelerated development schedule, MythTV 0.23 is now available. MythTV 0.23 brings a new event system, brand new Python bindings, the beta MythNetvision Internet video plugin, new audio code and surround sound upmixer, several new themes (Arclight and Childish), a greatly improved H.264 decoder, and fixes for analog scanning, among many others. Work towards MythTV 0.24 is in full swing, and has be progressing very well for the last several months. If all goes according to plan, MythTV 0.24 will bring a new MythUI OSD, a nearly rewritten audio subsystem capable of handling 24- and 32-bit audio and up to 8 channels of output, Blu-ray disc and disc structure playback, and various other performance, usability, and flexibility improvements."

Submission + - RIAA moved to Linux

It appears that the move did not go quite easy as it came with an 8 hour downtime starting last Saturday around noon according to Netcraft and it is still showing a 'temporarily under construction" page. They also moved their DNS from the small company that had been hosting them for the past 4 years, Tomorrow's Solutions Today (TST Inc.), to Mindshift Technologies. One can only guess what happened there, but it seems that this came as a sudden and unplanned move as they still haven't moved the RIAA.ORG, RIAA.NET and MUSICUNITED.ORG domains that are still pointing to the TST nameservers that are no longer accepting queries for those domains. The small Service Disabled Veteran owned company, TST Inc., merits credit however. They were largely discussed back in 2003 when they started hosting the RIAA website; The Register described it even as "one of the strangest sequence of events we've ever reported", but they seemed to have managed to host the RIAA quite successfully for the past 4 years. Will Mindshift do a better job hosting one of the most reviled, and therefore attacked web sites in the world? I wonder if anybody at the RIAA or TST would care to comment why this sudden move, could it be that the almighty RIAA is being sued by it's hosting provider or maybe the sue happy company is suing it's provider? This story will most likely continue to evolve further in the next couple of days/weeks.
